An attentive MTA officer tracked down a man at Penn Station that police had been looking for. They say Christopher Brown had been making threats on social media to shoot up a synagogue.
When Brown, who is from Aquebogue in Suffolk County, was caught at Penn Station, and had a large hunting knife on him.
Officers also arrested Matthew Mahrer, who was accompanying Brown. Investigators searched Mahrer’s apartment in New York City and found a Glock 17 firearm.

Its time to have real security at every synagogue before its to late. Let’s bee safe then sorry.
Let’s hear some *gratitude* for the amazing work of the NYPD and a “sharp-eyed MTA employee” and, yes, the FBI. It was a kindness from Hashem that this didn’t happen (and a warning from Hashem), but we must recognize and acknowledge that these investigators staved off a horrible tragedy.
Just keep in mind the only reason this is national news is because the two perpetrators are “white”. If they had been black our wonderful new governor wouldn’t have tweeted a word about it…
More blue stare violence against jews during senile Joe’s illegitimate reign
This social media encourages these wackos.
Trump is back on Twitter !!
Which minority group are they from?
This crime is a direct result of on-line social media and Twitter threats, not moderated by anyone at Twitter. Elon Musk encourages hate threats by firing all the Twitter staff who were supposed to watch out for threats.
